I listed a link to a segment from Good Morning America called ,"Made In China." It discusses China's influence on the global economy and its' growth in strength and power . The reporter said something interesting about the difference of the old China to the new China. Years ago China experienced a famine that killed millions of people and it was common for parents to tell their children at dinner time ,"... now children eat all your food because there are children starving in China" and today parents should tell their children , " ..now children do your homework because there are children starving for your job in China and India." Children in the east are motivated to learn English and Science and to be on top and to also bring themselves out of poverty. Children in the west have a different mind set and they are not as interested for the most part to strive to be on globaly. The east has more students in the areas of science and engineering vs. America. Anyway .. there are 3 articles total to read that are interesting.

Today I am staying home with the kids and doing housework. Tomorrow Bill and I are taking the kids to McDonald's and then to the movies to go see the new "Wallace and Gromit" movie. I have to work in rehab on Sunday.

Yesterday morning Bill and I closed on the house due to the refinancing of our first and second mortgages , I am so glad that is over.
